West Torrens Art Prize winner - $4000
Red Gums' by Miia Ascione

Artist comments

"Red Gums' depicts a few gum trees that you would be able to find at Mellor Park, in West Torrens. I painted this landscape using a photo reference, accentuating the warmth I felt in this communal recreational space at the time."

Highly Commended prize winner - $1000
Suburban Encounters of the Curious Kind by Georgina Willoughby

Artist comments

"I had an urge to wander my 5033 streets with a camera — following the local lures that make West Torrens what it is. Just streets from home, I caught a glimpse of such a curious sight, I had to see more. I mean, it’s one thing to have an airport in your council area, but this is quite extraordinary!"

Highly Commended prize winner - $1000
Gateway to the World by Danielle von Bertouch

Artist comments

"Bathed in a pastel tarmac sunset, this view from a jet window captures the quiet anticipation of departure. As South Australia’s gateway to the globe, this fleeting moment of connection and endless possibility can be found only in West Torrens."
